What is a Consulate?

A consulate is a type of diplomatic mission that represents a state or an international organization in another state or region. A consulate is usually headed by a consul or a consul-general, who is a lower-ranking diplomat than an ambassador. A consulate operates from a consulate-general, which is the main office of the consul, or a consulate, which is a smaller office under the jurisdiction of the consulate-general.

Jordan’s consulate in Aqaba is one of its five foreign representations in Aqaba, a city on the Red Sea coast that is Jordan’s only seaport. The consulate in Aqaba represents Jordan’s interests and policies in the southern region of Jordan and provides consular services to Jordanian citizens and foreign visitors. The consulate in Aqaba also facilitates trade and tourism between Jordan and other countries, especially those that have consulates in Aqaba as well, such as Chile, Egypt, Hungary, Italy, and Poland. The consulate in Aqaba is located at Al-Hussein Bin Ali Street, P.O.Box 1312.

What is International law?

International law is the set of rules, norms, and standards that apply between sovereign states and other entities that are legally recognized as international actors. The term was coined by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham in 1789 to replace the older term law of nations, which was used by Hugo Grotius and Emer de Vattel. International law covers a wide range of topics, such as war and peace, human rights, trade, environment, and diplomacy. International law is based on various sources, such as treaties, customary law, general principles of law, and judicial decisions. International law is enforced by the consent and cooperation of states, as well as by other means, such as sanctions, arbitration, or judicial bodies.

What is a Diplomat?

A diplomat is a person who represents a state or organization in another state or organization, usually in an official capacity. A diplomat is responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations, protecting the interests and nationals of the sending state or organization, negotiating and signing agreements, reporting and gathering information, and promoting friendly and cooperative relations between the two states or organizations. 

A diplomat usually works in a diplomatic mission, such as an embassy or a consulate, where they communicate with the host government and other foreign representatives. A diplomat also participates in international conferences and meetings, where they discuss and negotiate various issues and topics with other delegates. A diplomat follows certain rules and norms that govern their behavior and interactions, such as diplomatic immunity, protocol, etiquette, or courtesy.

One of Jordan’s diplomats is Hala Bsaisu Lattouf, who is currently serving as the Ambassador of Jordan to Canada since 2020.
